That doesn't make sense. If the write protect tab was set then
Bacula was unable to write the label to the tape.

My guess would be rather that the tape was labeled already,
perhaps from an earlier experiment, so Bacula refused to
overwrite the existing label. You should be able to find out
what actually happened from the Bacula log file.

Yes, "update slots" doesn't add new volumes.

Choose the "fixed name" alternative here, ie. enter 0 and it
will let you enter the volume name exactly as you want it.

Exactly. I guess that's what happened during your original label run.

That would be one possibility. Adding it with its fixed name as I
wrote above is the second one. A third one would be to bscan it.

You needn't stop/restart the sd for that. "unmount SL24" before and
"mount LS24" afterwards would have been enough.
